What is your most memorable swimming/diving moment? Why?
My most memorable diving moment was at my first YMCA Nationals when I hurt myself during warm ups on my last dive. During the meet, I ended up performing that dive, the best I ever had.

Describe yourself as an athlete and as a student.  
I am very dedicated and motivated with my school work and diving. I try to balance my schedule and focus on my goals.

What piece of coaching and/or personal advice has stuck with you over the years?
My coach Adam Vance once told me to “Not work harder, but smarter.” Whenever I am struggling with a dive, I try not to overthink it and focus on one thing at a time to try to improve it.

What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?
In ten years I hope to be living in California or NYC working for a magazine or maybe in the field of advertising.
